17. There is nothing we could say or do for that matter that would change a racist, misogynist, anti-other mind.

Every economic and social and health issue was addressed by the Democrats, especially VP Harris during her short campaign and Joe has messaged on the economy and environment issues taking actions to benefit working men and women lead by Dems in the House and Senate who passed historic legislation without any help from the GOP. Actually nothing was left out except voting rights. It made no difference. The price of eggs and gas went down and it made no difference. Historic infrastructure and jobs legislation passed thanks to the Democrats and it made no difference. Trump got record support from immigrants that he threatened to deport as soon as he is sworn it. It made no difference. People were actually feeling better off economically and it made no difference.

Stop the BS. It is still all about race and gender with an economic covering cloth. Remember, under Bill Clinton he left office with a surplus AND IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE because he was too nice to blacks and Hillary was his spouse.

Like a fellow DUer posted the other day, stop overthinking it all. It boils down to the simplest explanation with an huge inconvenient truth. The people with the most money and power and the mindless they control are still racist and sexist. EOS
